Chapter 9 Eleanor's past
Eleanor Shamrock
I am an orphan, that's what I am, who I am.
For years it has been my only label and my defining trait.
I came to Beacon to become more than this.
I was dropped off at St Oum orphanage at age one.
I had nothing but I loved it there, the people were kind to us.
That only lasted until I was four.
The place came under new management, we had to steal to survive.
When I was six my semblance appeared, I can survive for up to two weeks without food or water.
It helped me survive the orphanage.
When I went to Signal to train as a scholarship student I became known as the lucky orphan.
And I was lucky, whenever chance played a role in it I came out on top.
No one ever caught me stealing, I was rather good at it.
They all knew it was me but they would always search my room after I had gotten rid of the evidence.
I got a scholarship to Beacon to prove that I am just as good as everyone else.
You next Grace.
